The article discusses the dynamic calculation of elements box structure buildings under action seismic effects, taking into account spatial work elements, given by displacement their lower part according to a sinusoidal law. equations motion for each plate and beam building are constructed based on Kirchhoff-Love theory. Expressions forces, moments, stresses which balance elements' displacement...

The scattering of flexural waves by a hole in a thin plate traversed by a beam is modeled here by coupling the Kirchhoff-Love and the Euler-Bernoulli theories. A closed form expression is obtained for the transfer matrix (T-matrix) relating the incident wave to the scattered cylindrical waves. For this purpose, a general method has been developed, based on an analogous impedance method for acou...

This paper deals with the isogeometric analysis using B-splines of space rods subject to Kirchhoff-Love hypotheses. A multi-patch isogeometric approach for the numerical analysis of the three-dimensional Kirchhoff-Love rod theory is developed. We use Bezier and B-splines interpolations and we show that they are able to attain very good accuracy for rod structures, particularly for developing a ...

The present work focuses on geometrically exact finite elements for highly slender beams. It aims at the proposal of novel formulations of Kirchhoff-Love type, a detailed review of existing formulations of Kirchhoff-Love and SimoReissner type as well as a careful evaluation and comparison of the proposed and existing formulations. Two different rotation interpolation schemes with strong or weak...
